"Japan's Opening Moves in the Pacific - The simultaneous operations against Malaya, Java, and the Philippines." Map hexes are 85 nautical miles across, each turn equals one half a month, and units are brigade through regiment scale.

One of GDW's Series 120 games, a line of introductory wargames spanning various historical eras. The games in the series had 120 counters and were supposed to be playable in 120 minutes or less, hence the name.
